Dunlap finished five shots ahead of the lowest official score in Masters history, but it will probably be little comfort. Charlie Kunkle, who shot a fourth-round 95 in 1956, is the owner of that undesired milestone.
Golf is known to be a challenging sport; one week you may be flushing irons and smashing drives, and the next you may be slicing errant approaches onto a nearby fairway.
Even one of the greatest golfers in the world suffered the sport’s terrible fate, and there could have been a few cries of “one of us, one of us” from amateurs everywhere as Dunlap’s round progressed.
Dunlap started his round with a hooked drive into the gallery on his way to a bogey, and the opening hole had warning flags. From there, things just got worse.
Dunlap’s second nine was much worse, with four double bogeys and three more bogeys, after the front nine included three more bogeys and a triple bogey. After leaving the course, he avoided talking to media.
